and the sad truth of combat experience and combat expertise come into play. tis so sad.
though i wonder what the prince will do for his victory, maybe make marah and jake into his daughters guard and nanny maybe? marah has shown a decent start to such skills after all!

Aww, and after such a strong start, too. Still, that’s inexperience versus experience for you. However… if he gets overconfident and leans right over her, she might have the strength and leverage to chuck him out of the window. If that is a window, of course. It could just be a doorway onto a terrace. Or it could be the narrow ledge from which the Prince drops victims onto jagged rocks…

Nooo… the combat is to first blood. Marah’s armour is damaged, but there’s no blood spilled yet. Unless Marah yields, it’s still very much on. Of course, the Prince can declare that he accepts Modest’s offer, and then invoke privilege or use force majeur, but Marah could still honourably attack him, especially if he is still facing her with weapon drawn.
